From 14,000 hopefuls to 35 finalists: India's young builders show juries what comes next

Thirty-five young finalists — college students and recent graduates chosen from more than 14,000 applications — presented their ideas to expert juries in New Delhi in the final round of a national innovation competition. Their projects ranged from drones and a way to spot cyberattacks to tracking ships that switch off their signals at sea, alongside ideas for greener, sturdier infrastructure and technology that includes more people. The juries were so impressed that some suggested the usual two winners per category would not be enough this year.
